40cm of snow in Val d’Isere and more across the Alps.

Great news for those who wisely booked at Easter and great news for those still planning to book.

Weekend Snowfall Spells Even Better Conditions in the Alps

The current cold spell we have in the UK at the moment is bringing even better snow conditions across the Alps. The resorts of France, Switzerland, Austria and Italy all received some good snow fall over the weekend.
